Filter by:The study will investigate the role of 1,3-butadiene metabolic activation and deactivation in lung cancer risk among various ethnic/racial groups. This project will require urine samples from smokers and nonsmokers from the three ethnic/racial groups recruited by the Clinical and Biomarker Core for the analysis of 1,3-butadiene DNA adducts. Data on nicotine intake (urinary TNE) in these subjects as well as in 400 lung cancer cases and 400 controls from Project 1 will be also required for this project.
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986205 given with Nivolumab with or without chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of lung cancer specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (LC-CTLs). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the rate of successful LC-CTLs generation in vitro and determine the anti-lung cancer efficacy.
PEARL is a phase III multicentre 2:1 randomised controlled trial, with an incorporated phase II (pilot) component. All patients consented/registered onto the trial will have an autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) to check for the presence of high grade lesions (HGLs) in the lung, as verified by tissue biopsy. Only patients with one or more histologically confirmed lung HGL will be randomised to receive either photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment with surveillance (=intervention), or surveillance alone (=control). The overall aim of the phase II pilot is to demonstrate a >20% response in the PDT group (at least 3 out of 21 PDT patients), compared to a minimum response of 5%. This will be used as an efficacy signal to determine whether the trial will continue into phase III. Response will be measured by regression of high grade lesions (HGLs) to either low grade lesions (LGLs), or to normal epithelium at 6 months post treatment (blind assessment). The overall aim of the phase III is to show that the time period over which HGLs progress to invasive lung cancer is significantly longer when treated with PDT compared to surveillance alone.
Conventionally fractionated radiation therapy given over 6-7 weeks alone, sequentially, or concurrent with chemotherapy have produced poor outcomes in Stage II NSCLC in most series. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has been shown to be very effective and is now standard of care for Stage 1 disease. There has been initially reluctance to utilize SABR for central lung tumors because of published reports that showed an excess of toxicity when SABR was utilized; however, newer data with less intense treatment regimens suggest safety in treatment of central lung disease. The safety and efficacy of SABR in treating hilar nodes or N1 disease currently is not known fully and will be evaluated in this study.
The objective of the trial was to evaluate velocity-associated parameters of pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasound at induction, discharge from the post-anaesthesia care unit and during inspiratory cough in addition to the consumption of phenylephrine during the operation in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery with three types of anaesthesia management.
The goal of this clinical research study is to explore whether intrathoracic hyperthermic perfusion after radical surgery could reduce local recurrence rate(13%) for advanced lung cancer / esophageal cancer. The safety of intrathoracic hyperthermic perfusion right after surgery.
Evaluation of the anatomic extent of a primary lung cancer and presence of metastasis are essential for selection of an appropriate management strategy. Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a reliable and established technique to evaluate involvement of mediastinal lymph nodes (LN); however, it is an invasive procedure and may not be tolerated in patients with severe underlying lung disease. One exception is the superficially located supraclavicular lymph nodes (SCLN), which can easily be biopsied with percutaneous US-guided-fine needle aspiration (US-FNA). Traditionally, this nodal group is evaluated by palpation; however, literature suggests that palpation itself fails to capture 66% of proven disease by cytology, which challenges the acceptance that non-palpable nodes are indicative of absent disease. Since all palpable SCLN are biopsied to rule out metastasis, we may potentially up-stage more patients using ultrasound evaluation for non-palpable nodes; and offer more appropriate management. Currently, the incidence for non-palpable SCLN metastasis has not been defined in this patient population presenting for EBUS-TBNA. The primary objective is to determine the incidence of supraclavicular lymph node metastasis by ultrasound evaluation in patients referred for EBUS-TBNA.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Infliximab and oral prednisone versus methylprednisolone and oral prednisone in patients with melanoma, lung cancer, or renal cell carcinoma who have immune related Grade 3-4 diarrhea for up to 3 days or persistent Grade 2 diarrhea for more than 5 days after treatment with Yervoy and/or Opdivo
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapy has not yet been fully explored in solid tumors. Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2) is widely expressed in cancers. Investigators have developed anti-HER2 CAR-modified T cells and validated the efficiency targeting HER2-positive cancer in preclinical studies. This study is aimed to confirm its adverse effects including cytokine storm response and any other adverse effects. In addition, CAR-T cells persistence, tumor elimination and disease status after treatment will be evaluated.
